- A message to Group leaders and indeed to all Chippy u3a members: Please contact the Web Administrator if you have any news to share and would like to see it posted here.
News items from the Committee, Group leaders and others connected to Chippy u3a appear here (and please visit the Events page regularly to see what's coming up). . . . But this page is only as good as the news that you all provide. Without it, the page will rapidly go out of date and end up covered in mould and cobwebs, at which point it will have to be shut down as a health hazard.

. . . Would you like to start a new group?
- Don't forget that we're always interested in providing new groups, so if you have an idea for one and would like to take it further, please contact the Groups Coordinator.
Did you remember to pay your membership fee for 2026?
A reminder for all members: if you didn't pay your annual membership fee by 28 February, your membership will have lapsed and you will not be able to continue with your groups until you renew. If you have simply forgotten please pay as soon as possible. (Now that we are past 1 July the fee for the rest of 2026 is £12.50.)
An important note: when you join or renew you must submit a form as well as pay your membership fee. If you simply pay without completing the form, then you can't be registered on the National u3a's Beacon system; we can't count you as a member until we receive your form.
